GOOD TIMES Former professor looks back on 56 years page 5 TUESDAY WEATHER: Partly cloudy Wednesday, with slightly increasing chance of rain. SENIOR EVALUATIONS must be completed today for spring quarter graduation. The Western Front i Financial aid forms get drug clause By Douglas Buell staff reporter The federal government last month slipped a no-drug clause in college financial aid reports while students weren't looking. That means as many as 1,500 students who received their award notices before March 21 will have to sign new forms, said Ron Martinez, director of Student Financial Resources. Students certify under the act that they will not make, sell, possess or use drugs during the period of the grant, which means the first withdrawals may not be felt until the coming school year. Reissuing won't affect how much money students are eligible for, he said, but students will have to check the box in order to be certified under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 and receive federal aid. "Those who don't sign, can't register," he said. "Those found breaking the law will have their federal grant money taken away." About 6,000 Western students depend on grants or loans, Martinez said. Pell grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and federal work-study fall under the antidrug laws. Administrators and staff said the law could have an impact on students, but they also questioned how it will be enforced. Academic Vice President Sam Kelly said it will be based more on the honor system than anything. "Such funds are important to a great number of students, but if it's the law, it's the law." Martinez agreed, but called it "a. law with no teeth." Without the means available to track students on aid next year who might be engaged in illegal drug activities, the law will be ineffective, he said. "Unless we had an oppressive method, such as a blood test before getting the student aid reports, we wouldn't be able to certify students are drug-free," he said. As punishment set by the courts, drug traffickers on a first offense can be stripped of all federal benefits for up to five years after conviction. Penalties for students found using or in possession of drugs may include: • Lossoffinancialaidforupto one year. • Completion of a drug-treatment program which would include periodic testing. • Community service. The law also states that if a student makes a "good faith" effort to enteradrug-free,long-termrehabili: See Drug on page 12 £ HilttHiiiHU^piiip^ ||^|H|i|i|||||i^i||li^j HiiHii^Bi^iBiiiiilBii l|pl|ii|^|lllft|||i^||i|J Korthuis and junior Deborah Frost ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ on the fountain *s maintenance for pump must be reconditioned and l|liiiWiliHiill^lHii» linililiiiliSiiiHi^^0i sure-washed and the control valve checked.

SftBlBiiiiiSIBiB^iiB See Fisher on page Registration has minor problem By Luis Cabrera staff reporter Western's political science department still isn't sure how to get minors into the classes they want, but spring pre-registration worked for majors and will probably be used again in the fall, said political science professor Eugene Hogan. The department went to early registration in response to complaints from upper-level majors that couldn't get the classes they needed to graduate. Political science minors were not allowed to pre-register, however, and many could not get into the department's classes. "They should have something for minors," said junior Michelle Staal. "Getting classes is just as important for us." Staal, who now has 110 credits, said she formerly intended to major in political science, but switched when she couldn' t get into any upper-level classes. She said she had considered taking political science as a second major before spring quarter but was again excluded from classes by her relatively late registration time. 'It's tough," said John Warnke, a senior criminology major who couldn't get into a class relevant to his crime studies. "I got my minor out of the way, bu 11 had to take another class I wasn't interested in." Hogan said the minors' situation is the main reason the department has not yet declared its pre-registration policy for fall quarter. See Major on page 12 Pro-choice slogans hang as a reminder By Doree Armstrong staff reporter On April 26, the United States Supreme Court could overturn, the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion in the United States. The court will hear the case of Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, which is about a Missouri abortion law. A local group of citizens, who -wish to remain anonymous, put more than 300 hangers with pro-choice slogans around campus late Monday night and early this morning to protest overturning the 1973 decision. They said the protest was because "women are going to have an abortion whether it's legal or not. And they shouldn't be criminals for taking charge of their own bodies." The group of about 10 men and women did not want their identities known in case of possible retaliation. One woman said of her 18-year-old sister, "She's just not in any way, shape or form ready to be a mom. If she didn't have the right to an abortion, I think I'd lose my mind." The group's main concern is to keep abortion legal for medical reasons. The hangers were used to remind people of how many illegal abortions were performed before the Roe v. Wade ruling. "They're symbolic of why abortion needs to remain a legal procedure," one woman said. She added that many people believe if abortion were illegal it wouldn't happen at all. "That's just not the case," she said. Another woman told of a woman who performed an abortion on herself in 1962. "Her only concern was not for her body and her safety, but whether she would be arrested." Some of the pro-choice slogans the group used include: "Only 'criminals' used this tool to abort themselves. Will you let it happen again?," "Back alley abortions kill women. Support women's right to life," and "No one WANTS an abortion — See Choice on page 3
